High Trust Rating and Lowered RTP, do they belong in the same description?

Hi just some food for thought, I wanted to get some people’s opinions on this. Players, Guru staff everyone come give your 2 cents! I’ll go first by writing a couple of things I thought of.

When a Casino decides that eligible slot games in their catalogue will be hosted using versions with sub-optimal RTP , should that be your signal to turn around and try somewhere else?

I’ve played on hundreds of casinos from some pretty horrible ones to others that are really enjoyable.

And recently I’ve decided that If I’m going to provide a casino with my time and money *the two things they operate in search of* in exchange for providing me with entertainment and thrill, that I deserve to have the highest chance at having a good time. (which I hope I can safely assume for most everyone goes along with wining)

There are Casino’s with low RTP across the board I’ve found that actually have some of the very best *displays* of ethics, customer support and even extended into their website layout, gamification and overall experience. However, purposefully giving your customers lower chances of winning and having a profitable session only makes the already steep hill that we have to climb that much more unlikely seems very predatory and greedy when I think of it. What do you think?

Hello,

I think this is a perfect question, providing quite a few associated aspects to think of. Basically, in my opinion, a fair casino will always display the RTP provided by its game provider. Alternatives like the average RTP based on the last 24 hours, for instance, make me wonder why it's so difficult to say the RTP is 95,7%...

This is where it gets tricky: some game providers let casinos actually select the RTP value from a predetermined scale. I am sure a knowledgeable casino manager could effectively explain the rationale, but I am still not sure I buy that.

Conversely, though, However, there is another example with nearly the same outcome that focuses on a very different objective.

Players and customers of German casinos with official licenses are both liable to taxes. The RTP for each player was essentially decreased by these taxes, which were (and possibly still are) applied to each and every spin.

According to the local gaming law, these players are limited to playing at casinos with local licenses. It means, to me, purposefully lowering the RTP value - without bad intentions. I'd say it's just an unlucky decision. Lowering the chances of winning without the choice to play somewhere else in the name of the protection of those players.

I realize I did not give specific answers, but perhaps that is because players can not even tell the difference between real and fake games these days, unlike in the past when there was quite easy to tell an original gameprovider's server from the "unofficial".

Now that I'm thinking about it, I have another question: Who checks the parameters of the slots today?

It's not the licensing authority. Game providers?

Some casinos are already creating their own casino games.
